My buddy had a 14' sea nymph and we did everything from the bay to along the beach but the hairiest weather and waves we ran into were up in Champlain in Dec or Ontario.

I've got a heavily tricked out Mirrocraft ( 1982 Model) Deep Fisherman II. It's on its 3rd engine (25 EFI Merc) and 2nd trailer. I am original owner.

12 gallon tank in bow ( super range and conterbalance my fat a*s), ICOM VHF, Stereo, Garmin plotter, Lowrance FF, 2500gph Rule bilge pump, permanent mounted drain over side cutting board, Fortess Anchor, re-inforced transom, and bow anchor swivel.

Great bay set up. Primarily crabbing. But back bay stripers and oceanside on nice days.

Love it~!

Duranautic hands down. Funny memory still as vived as the day it happened. In the middle of the Navisink clearing a trolling line when my kids yell Dad ! Dad! a boat is heading right at us. Well a husband and wife under power with a 30' sailboat sitting in the pulpit ram me broadside. Put a huge dent in the side but the boat takes no water and we survive the the impact. The boat was totaled. That was 1985. Bought a 17' center console Sea Nymph and still running it today out of the Rumson Municipal Ramp Had that boat come off the trailer doing 55 mph on Interstate 80 coming back from Canada. But that a story for another day. So I guess Sea Nymph is a pretty good boat too.

Smile Re: Best aluminum boat

My favorite aluminum is a classic lund! I currently have a 1979 lund mr pike 18 ft with a 50 hp evinrude , would take boat almost anywhere! Been on Lake Erie for 15 years and the boat handles the short chop really well! Going to last another 20!
